REV. JAMES SABINE 

b. May 26, 1774, at Fareham, Hants, England, and m. Angust 19, 
1800, Ann Danford, only daughter of Isaac Danford, Esqre., attorney at 
law. County of Gloucester, England. He entered the Preslnterian min- 
istry and lived in — 

Uley, Gloucestershire 1S00-04

He left England with his wife and seven children, sailing May 6, 
1816, from London, and arrived on the 15th of the following month at 
Saint John's, where he preached until after the two great fires which 
devastated that city. He then removed to Boston, where he arrived with 
his family July 18, 1818, and soon commenced to preach in Boylston 
Hall, corner of Washington and Boylston streets. The society thus 
started became the Essex vStreet Church, the corner stone of which was 
laid January 26, 1S19, and the church dedicated December 15, 1819. In 
the course of two years differences arose and by a vote of March 6, 1822, 
it was resolved to withdraw to Boylston Hall. This bodj' retained the 
name of Essex Street Church until November 26, 1823, when they were 
received into the Londonderry Presbytery. Thus they became the Second 
Presbyterian Church of Bo.ston, but they are known as the First Presby- 
terian Church. 

In 1828 Mr. Sabine withdrew from the Presbyterian Church, took 
orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church, and was ordained priest by 
Bishop Griswold. He was the first rector of Grace Church, Temple 
Street, Boston, and was, in 1830, transferred to the diocese of \'erniont, 
and became rector of Christ Church, Bethel, where he preached for 
fifteen years. His wife d. October 2, 1837, at Bethel, and on October 11, 
1840, he m. Mrs. Dorcas W. Monroe, widow of Rev. ^Nlatt Monroe, at 
Trinity Church, Bridgewater, Mass. She d. October 14, 18S0, at Newport, 
R. I., aged 93 years. He d. October 2, 1845, at the home of his daughter, I/' 
in Randolph Center, Vermont. He was the author of an Ecclesiastical 
History (Boston, 1820), as well as numerous published sermons.
